Hi Pan! The Hearthstone tournament article will be up shortly – it’s run by Team MSYD – they are hosting an 8 man legendary player invitational – the players have been selected by repeat legendary status and high tournament success rates, via an online qualifying tournament and one player has been selected via online poll as the ‘people’s favourite’. Will be some very good games to watch! Make sure you check out Team MSYD on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/mesmashyoudiehsteam/ and also check out their trailer video for the comic con tournament here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAdzvoVmB00

8. Time is set to 05:00m (ro32, ro16, ro8), 06:00m (bo3), 07:00m (bo5).

11. If a player pauses, a TO must resolve the situation in the following way:

– Unpausing before a TO arrives results in a loss of stock for the unpauser.
– If the situation is neutral, the match is resumed with no further action.
– If the player who paused is at a disadvantage, once the game resumes they are to be placed either on the edge of the stage or in an opponent’s grab.
– If the player who paused is in a “death situation”, their current stock is forfeited immediately.

12. Players using the WiiMote must remove the batteries when not playing/inactive. Players using the 3DS/XL as a controller must disconnect from the console when not playing/active. If problems or disruptions persist, the offender may be disqualified.

13. Players are responsible for the functionality of their controller; no malfunction is the responsibility of the organization and should such an occasion arise the opponent may choose to restart the match or take an immediate win.

14. All tournament rules apply during every match; any rule that is disobeyed is grounds for instant disqualification from the match and tournament altogether.

15. Any players requiring custom button sets must speak to one of the tournament organizers at least half an hour prior to tournament commencement.

** For all bo1 games players must agree before match start which stage they will play on; failure to do so will automatically set the stage to the one they haven’t chosen. In bo3 and bo5 games there will be a complete map rotation beginning from Final Destination.
